CONGRESS STREETS NEED
PROPERTY OWNERS ANXIOUS
FOR ASPHALT PAVING.

Who il to Pay for Paving the street In
tsrsectioDs, "A Question the Property
Owners Would Like to Have Settled
The Paving OF Gwinnett Street one OF
the Improvements of the Early Future.
There appears to be q good prospect
now that Congress street will be paved
with asphalt during the spring. A petit
ton, as already stated In the MORNING
NEWS, is being circulated and 1t seems
to be meeting with favor. The PROPOSE
ton is TO pave between Bull and Jetfer-
son. The main objection raised by the
property owners is to paying for the paw
ing Of the intersections OF the streets,
Property owners along Congress would
like to have the City Council decide the
question before they sign the petitlo n.
If the city Will agree to pay for
paving the street at the intersections
little objection Will be made to the petition
by the property owners. If Congress str eet
is paved between the streets mentioned
Bull street will be paved from state to
Congress. The consent OF the property
owners along the blocks between john
son and Court House squares was obtain
ed last summer. With Bull and Congress
paved BrOughton street would be relieved
OF considerable travel.
Some OF the property owners on Gwin-
nett are talking OF having that street
paved. They give as one OF their chief
reasons the fact that in the present con-
dition OF the cross streets in that section
1t us difficult matter for fire engines
TO reach points lying between the paved
streets. The heavy engines some times
stick in the sand, and even If they do not
progress through it is, at best, slow.
Buildings. therefore, have not as much
protection as is desired. A way has been
opened across the Park extension. ana ii
Gwinnett is paved east OF Drayton and
west OF Whitaker the fire department
will be able to promptly reach a large
section Of the city which il cannot now
reach without strong chances of delay.
The Warren-Scharff Asphalt Company
has had representatives in Savannah re-
Gently look ing over the field and ascer-
tanning the sentiment Of the new Council
and the taxpayers. Since BroughtOn
street was paved the company has put
down pavements in Cincinnati. Roches-
ter, Buffalo, st. Paul and three other
cities. 1t was through the Warren
Sohartf Company, it is said, that the cor
ruptiOn in the Cincinnati Board of Public
Works was exposed and an investigation
was begun. which resulted in the indict-
ment OF about twenty OF the city officials
for accepting brides.

arrangements for the tntertain-
ment in odd Fellows Hail.
The rain prevented. a fun meeting of
the Ladies' Auxiliary Committee Satur-
day afternoon. Another meeting has
been called for this afternoon al 3 O'clock,
the committee to be present, that ar
tertaiument TO be given tomorrow even
ing.
The increasing popularity of the assoc
citation is significantly shown by the
number OF business men visiting the
rooms and the satisfaction expressed by
them that such a work Is being carried
on for tue Young men OF the city. That
the young men themselves appreciate the
association is shown by the increased at
tendance in the reading rooms and at
the gospel serY ce held IN the gymnasium
nall every Sunday afternoon. Thirty -tiye
new members have been received during
the last ten days.
A meeting of the Reception Committee
was held in the Secretary's Office last
week. The committee was thoroughly
organized and hereafter one or more Of
its members viii be at the rooms every
evening to welcome strangers and visit
tors, show them through the rooms, and
see that the young men are made to feel
at home.
Fifty additional copies Of Gospel Hymns
were purchased Saturday for use in the
meetings, the mum Der previously on hand
having proved insufficient to supply the
large number who take part in the hearty
singing ~ the gospel services.

SUNDAYS WATER FAMINE.
The supply Shut OF by Break
Down at the Works.

The city endured water famine from
noon yesterday until O'Clock in
the afternoon. A valve in the
engine at the water works flew out
and the machinery had to stop.
Then the donkey engine broke down and
raused another DELAY, SUPERINTENDENT
Miller had the break repaired in the
shortest possible time and the pumps
were again started.
The operators IN the Telephone Ex-
change usually have an easy time of 1t
on Sundays, hut when The water supply
gave out yesterday every telephone, espe-
cially in The CITY, began to ring for No.
II, the water works station. 1t was i'm
possible to connect everybody with No.
II at once and a good deal OF confusion
was the result. The water works en-
ployes were busy repairing the machinery
and had no time 20 answer telephone
calls, so that it was Impossible for some
time to yet any response at all.
The fire department officers we're nOti-
fed, and the apparatus was held in readi-
ness in case fire should break out to
use the wells. The lack OF notice cansed
a general upsethng of domestic arrange
ments; dinners had to be cooked with
well water, and people who will not drink
well water had to 40 thirsty.
The chief operator at the Telephone Ex-
Change said that there were not less than
100 calls for the water works station dur
ing the first hour that the water was shut
of. All the afternoon somebody WAS in
curing, ''Whats the matter with the
water worksY' ''Tha machinery has
- broken down." WAS all that could be
learned. Everybody wanted to know
whether it could be repaired and how
long it would take and whether the water
would be turned on by night aud a dozen
other questions, to which the only answer
that could be given was, "DOn't know"
There was great relief to the telephone
operators as well as the public when
few minutes after O'Clock the water was
turned on. Nervous people thought OF
fires and one family actually had the
servants carry buckets of water to the
upper story OF the house in readiness in
case a fire should break out.

A New 5iethod of Cleaning Rice.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat has
interviewed Messrs. J. w. Lyon 81 Co.,
rice millers, on the subject of their new
method of preparing rice for market.
They claim their process to be a sue
cess, the result of much actual expe-
Renee of the old system in the best mills,
and of expenditure OF much time, money
and labor. The results are that they are
turning out rice which brings "A higher
price than any other; that the yield of
clean rice to the sack Of rough is greater {;
that The rice is better, because not
heated; that the power required is less
and the hands fewer.
ms thcy claim is due principally to the
substitution, for the Founders and brush
generally used, Of improved machinery
which avoids the heating and consequent
breakage OF the grain aud loss of weight.
Other new machines are used for removal
of foreign matter and for the final prepara-
tlOn for market.
The work done by the FOUNDERS IN forty
minutes is done by the new machinery in
one minute, and far more thoroughly.
